FIFA 17 Ultimate Team gold card design leaked by Premier League club

Ultimate Team is the biggest mode in FIFA these days, meaning every potential new detail is swarmed over like the Crunchie stand at an international bumblebee convention.

Premier League side Crystal Palace’s players probably didn’t consider this on a tour of developer EA Canada’s Vancouver studio to see FIFA 17 last week.

Images shared by various players on Instagram – which were swiftly deleted after the fact, but not before they'd gone viral – show wingers Yannick Bolasie and Andros Townsend studying a large cut-out card depicting fellow wideman Wilfried Zaha on a gold background.
